Short-Lived Retirement...

No, I haven't retired. My Gawd, but I would have milked that for all it was worth!

I have just been on the road for three of the past four weeks, in Phoenix, Arizona and Long Beach, California and I managed to squeeze in a 2,600 mile road trip with my good buddy Kevin. We toured both rims of the Grand Canyon, Sedona, the Vermillion Cliffs, and did not one, but TWO laps of Death Valley!

I also finished the first draft of a three hundred page book, started going to photography school for a two-year program, and I am knee-deep in a complete revision of all three thousand pages of my web site, www.vanishingtattoo.com

About Me

As 2011 dawned, I couldn't seem to shake the feeling that something was missing in my life. And no, it wasn't God, the love of a good woman or a superlative bordeaux, although my long-term prospects would probably benefit from a generous infusion of all three.
After two Blogs - Boston or Bust, and Fifty in Photos --and eight hundred plus posts about first running and then photography over the past six years, I have decided to just write about whatever I want to write about.
What do I want to write about now? I'm not sure. I just know that I want to write and I suspect that on a much deeper level, I need to write. So behold, the birth of, "A Man of a Certain Vintage".
